A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM – LEAP: STUDIO STAGE

Four runaway lovers find themselves smack bang in the middle of a dispute between the King and Queen of the fairies, and, as if that wasn’t enough, a troupe of amateur actors are trying to rehearse a terrible (or terribly comedic) play. Between these unlikely groups flies Puck, armed only with a wicked sense of humor and a love potion capable of making anyone fall for the first person they set eyes upon. What could possibly go wrong? With no audition to participate, LEAP: Studio Stage focuses on building an inclusive ensemble dedicated to re-imagining a well-known story for a black-box stage. Students are heavily involved in all facets of the production including blocking and the minimalistic approach to set, prop, and costume construction.
